The job that I am seeking is a Major Gift Officer/Assistant Director of Development at Penn State University. The job requires that the MGO be able to implement programs which allow Alumni and other business owners the opportunity to see how the school is growing. The MGO then seeks an avenue to try and relate the direction of the school to the alumni or business and makes the “Ask” for a donation or gift of funds to the university. A certain degree of education and fundraising is required to acquire this position. I will be working an internship this summer within Athletic Development here at BGSU which will allow me to get my name out there with administrators; to establish contacts and resources for the future.
